Reed buntings and siskins in garden

 
A pair of reed buntings and a pair of siskins are feeding in the garden at the moment (rather distant shot of buntings taken through the window, but a record at least.)

    Thanks Brian. Good to see you both the other day. Hoping the reed buntings may stay around and nest, but we'll have to see - they may just be here for the food!
